I used the Exit Here collection to produce this two page layout about a part of a family road trip vacation two years ago. As a scrapbooker, I took almost 300 photos of our two week trek but decided to split them up into a few pages so I don’t feel overwhelmed in trying to fill a single scrapbook page with tons and tons of photos. With the help of a themed collection like this from Nikki Sivils and Glue Arts adhesive, making this project was easy as pie.

Instructions:1. Cut sentiments from patterned paper then use other patterned papers for die cutting shapes for 3 large tags.

2. Layer papers and die cuts onto red tag with Perma Tac Adhesive, machine sew along tops of paper flag die cuts and add a Raisen dimensional adhesive square to the backside of heart die cut from collection kit.3. Cut 3 pieces of jute twine and tie all into a bow. Apply a Raisen dimensional adhesive square to the tag and place the jute bow on top of it.4. Add the heart with Raisen onto the top of the jute bow and add a star trinket pin.

5. Layer largest butterfly diecuts together with a Raisen.

6. Apply papers and die cuts onto the tan colored tag. Wrap jute twine around the tag a couple of times then tie into a bow on left side. Apply u-Cut- It Foam to a die cut label from the kit and place below the jute bow.7. Adhere paper flowers to the not on the jute bow. Adhere layered butterfly to label and insert red heart trinket pin for antennae.

8. Adhere papers and die cuts to brown tag then wrap jute twine around tag and tie ends in a bow. Make a flower from patterned paper and adhere layers together with Perma Tac Adhesive then apply 3 brads to the center.9. Adhere paper flower to tag with hot glue and add desired trims near bottom of tag and add a button to trim end and a trinket pin behind flower.
